The Independent's White House correspondent tells what it's like to tangle with Trump in Oval Office lion's den
www.independent.co.uk

... The Independent's White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg tangled with a touchy Donald Trump on Thursday after he pressed the president about who pays tariffs during questions in the Oval Office with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

"That's enough," Trump also snapped after Feinberg pressed Starmer later at a press conference for his opinion on Trump's jab that he's going to turn Canada " which is part of the Commonwealth of former British Empire territories " into America's 51st state.

Feinberg talked about the experience as a guest Thursday night on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell.

"Andrew Feinberg got so fed up with Trump lies" that he confronted the president," O'Donnell remarked. He dubbed Feinberg "tonight's winner of the best question."

Trump had announced in a Truth Social post earlier Thursday that his proposed tariffs " 25 percent on certain goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10 percent on China " would go into effect March 4.

Feinberg quizzed the president about the post in the Oval Office as Trump sat with Starmer. Feinberg noted of Trump's tariff's: "You just said, We charge them,' as in: We charge China.' But the tariffs are paid eventually by American importers and consumers."

Trump responded before dodging: "No they're not. No. I think they're paid for by the country." ...

I think they're paid for by the country.

The man is an idiot. Not only does he not know how tariffs work, he admits he doesn't know.

If I may raise a point ...

Tariffs are paid by those entities who import goods into the Country.

And, ultimately, the cost of those tariffs are passed on to the consumers of those goodsg.

Pres Trump has zero authority to impose a tax within another Country.

Zero.

Let me say that again.

Zero.

So who pays for the tariffs that Pres Trump has called "beautiful?"

You and me, i.e., Americans.

Pres Trump's beautiful tariffs are little more than a tax upon Americans.

Raising the cost of the goods we need to buy.

I saw that.
Trump is truly, really, honestly a deluded fool that believes his own lies.
He is not in touch with reality.

Intentional ignorance, actual ignorance, or being surrounded by selected advisers who are afraid to contradict the fearless leader?

I wish I knew.

Is Pres trump aware of this aspect?

If so, does he care?

Or, stated differently, is he knowledgeable enough to care what is happening to the United States?

I've not a clue.

And, to be honest, I am not at all wanting to be in that space. I mean, would you?

But, that aside, then there seems to e things like this ...

More than 200 health professionals say Trump has malignant narcissism' in open letter (October 2024)
www.theguardian.com

... n anti-Trump political group organized a letter signed by more than 200 mental health professionals, warning that Donald Trump is dangerous because of "his symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder " malignant narcissism", which makes him "grossly unfit for leadership".

Less than two weeks before the presidential election, the group bought a full-page ad styled as an open letter in the New York Times on Thursday, arguing that the Republican nominee for the White House is "an existential threat to democracy" in the US.

The ad was funded by Anti-Psychopath Pac " a political action committee that has produced attack ads questioning Trump's mental fitness for office. ...


So, yeah, anti-Trump.

But, on the other hand, I have to laud that group for standing up to the issues they may face for offering their anti-Trump opinion.
